to discuss it afterward.
DURING READING:
Help out with any troublesome words in order to keep the oral
reading relatively fluent.
AFTER READING:
Use questions such as the following to check understanding
and stimulate discussion.
- How do the
kids make use of the librarian's suggestions in their reading
for the book club?
- What is the
parent-kid dimension discussed in the article?
- Do the kids
in the book club seem to have time for other activities?
- Would you
like to join a book club? Why or why not?
